What Is Restylane?
Restylane is an injectable material that is used in the face to plump the lips, fill wrinkles, accentuate cheeks and fill out smile and laugh lines. Restylane is composed of synthetic hyaluronic acid, which adds volume when injected to minimize wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in many living organisms and is a natural component of our connective tissues, including our skin.
What Can Restylane Treat?
- Lips and Lip Lines: Restylane can enhance the fullness of the lips and smooth out vertical lines, often referred to as lipstick lines. This treatment subtly augments the lip contour to achieve a more defined and youthful smile.
- Cheeks: This filler adds volume to the cheeks, which can sag or flatten due to age. Restylane restores the cheeks’ natural curvature and contributes to a fresher and more revitalized facial appearance.
- Chin: By improving the chin’s definition, Restylane aids in achieving facial symmetry. It can subtly reshape the chin area and enhance the overall proportions of the face.
- Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Folds: Restylane can reduce the appearance of marionette lines (the lines running from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin) and nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth). The filler provides a smoother transition between these areas for a more serene expression.
- Hands: Beyond facial treatments, Restylane is also used to rejuvenate the hands by restoring lost volume and minimizing the visibility of veins and tendons, giving the hands a smoother and more youthful look.
The Restylane Family
Restylane Kysse

Restylane Lyft
Among the Restylane filler options, Restylane Lyft is known for its ability to lift and contour facial features. It primarily targets the cheeks, midface area, and the back of the hands, providing a noticeable yet natural elevation of the skin, reducing sagginess and restoring youthful contours.
Restylane Defyne
Designed for laughter lines and deeper expression lines, the Restylane treatment known as Defyne helps smooth out deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The product allows you to retain facial expressions, offering enhancements that do not compromise the natural dynamics of the face.

Common Questions About Restylane
How Long Does Restylane Last?
The effects of Restylane filler typically last between six and 18 months, depending on the specific product used and the area treated. The longevity of the results can vary with the individual’s metabolic rate, which breaks down the filler over time, and other personal factors like skin type and overall health. To extend the effects, periodic touch-up sessions are recommended.
Are Restylane Injections Painful?
Restylane injections may cause some discomfort, but the pain is generally minimal. Many Restylane products contain lidocaine, an anesthetic that helps reduce pain during the treatment. We may use topical numbing creams to further ease any discomfort.
What Can I Expect After My Restylane Treatment?
Following a Restylane treatment, patients typically notice immediate improvements, though minor swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site can make them harder to see at first. When the swelling goes away, you’ll be able to see the full results. Avoid strenuous exercise and extensive sun or heat exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours.
Which Restylane Product Is Right for Me?
Choosing the right Restylane injections depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific areas you wish to enhance. A consultation with Dr. Chris Verbin is the best way to determine the most suitable product based on your skin type, facial structure, and desired outcome. Dr. Verbin will assess your individual situation and recommend the best Restylane product or products for you.
